Gabriella Moore has it all; a beautiful husband, two adorable children, and a dream home. Yet, when, by chance, she befriends Eli online, she falls fast. And hard. She knows she must let him go, and saying goodbye is one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but she resolves to move on and forget about her beautiful stranger.

But then… she makes an unexpected discovery, and it shakes her perfect world to its core. Rules don’t apply anymore. An arrangement is made, and her husband gives her just one week with Eli.

**** MY REVIEW *****

ONE WEEK: is a full-length standalone, forbidden romance novel, by author Roya Carmen. Gabriella seems to have the perfect life- perfect successful husband, two lovely children, a gorgeous home, and great friends. Gabriella  herself is an artist, a painter. Thru her art she meets a deliciously sexy man named Eli. There was immediate and steamy chemistry between them. Yet Gabriella didn’t go down that forbidden road and ruin her marriage for the intense attraction that flared between here and Eli. Until a big event”  changed the course of her marriage and changed at how she looked at everything. Gabbie’s and John’s marriage is facing one of these moments – the make or break kind – after something HUGE occurred so Gabbie told her husband John there would be a way  to propel them towards reconciliation- a hall pass sort of speak.

This story deals with marriage, infidelity, forbidden romance, divorce—it really is an awakening and a change against the norm. At first I didn’t like Gabriella but she grew on me and the romance between her and Eli…outstanding. There is so many things that take place in this story for me to talk about except to say you have to read this forbidden romance, to read all that takes place and what happens to the people involved. There is a lot of angst, tension, drama, anger, bitterness, pain but at the same time there is love, passion, chemistry and a believable HEA at the end. Does Gabbie stay with her husband or does she end up with Eli. Only way to find out is to read this fabulous story.

My Rating:  4.5  stars *****
